The AFL Women’s fixture is finally here, and that’s not even the best news.

The AFL Women’s fixture has finally been announced, with a classic clash between old rivals Collingwood and Carlton to kick things off early next year.

The 28-match season starts on February 3 in Melbourne and is free to attend, as the entire season will be — aside from six double-headers with the men’s pre-season competition.

There's also great news for interstate footy fans with plans for all the games to be broadcast live on Fox Footy, along with a select few - including the grand final on March 25 - to go free-to-air on Channel Seven.

All AFLW matches will also be streamed live on the Official AFL Live App and at AFL.com.au.
